Chapter 55: The Plain King's Wine Banquet
"Hey, Knight King! I'm here to meet you, come out, huh? β
As Saber and Alice Phil had speculated, it was Rider, and the voice was coming from the hall, and it seemed that the other party had stepped through the main entrance. There was no doubt www.biquge.info enemy was Iskandar, the king of conquest, and listening to his hearty shout, it didn't look like a warrior about to fight.
But Saber didn't dare to slack off, and she materialized the silver armor as she ran.
Alice Phil and Saber finally made their way through the hallway to the terrace...... However, when the two of them saw the enemy servant standing in the hall through the moonlight from the skylight, they immediately did not know what to say.
ββ¦β¦β
"Yo, Saber. When I heard about the castle, I wanted to come and see - how did this happen, huh? β
Rider grinned unashamedly and bared his teeth, and then he moved his neck in a deliberate manner.
"There are too many trees in the yard, it's too inconvenient to get in and out, and I almost got lost before I got to the city gate, so I cut some for you, thank me." The view has become much better. β
βriderγ You ......"
Saber snapped, but she didn't know what to say in the face of this inexplicable enemy. Rider said with a surprised frown.
"Hey Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit tonight? Don't wear that stiff armor all the time. β
If Saber's appearance in armor is said to be rigid, then what should be said about Rider's jeans and T-shirt? If you think of this armor as Saber's pride, the cracks in the thick breastplate seem to hint at its fragility. Here, perhaps, it can only be said that "the ignorant are invincible".
Webber half-hid behind the rider's massive frame, looking up at Alice Phil with a look on his face that was hostile or terrified. Needless to say, his face clearly reads "I want to go home" and "hurry up".
Once, King Iskandar, because of his interest in the culture of the invaded territory, was the first to wear Asian-style clothing, which made his entourage shy away from him. Alice Phil had heard the story, but she certainly didn't expect that the reason for the rider in front of her to change into modern clothes was actually Saber in a suit.
What made them even more strange was that the rider was not holding a weapon or other thing to use in combat.
It's a bucket.
No matter how you look at it, it's a wooden wine bottle. The rider, who easily clipped the sake bottle under his arm, is like a sake brewery owner who has come to deliver the goods.
"You ......"
Saber, who was speechless again, took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Rider, what are you doing here?"
"Still don't understand? I'm looking for you for a drink - hey, don't be there, lead the way, is there a courtyard suitable for a banquet? It's all gray inside this castle, no. β
ββ¦β¦β
Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger that had been stored in his chest disappeared. Looking at this seemingly innocent opponent, she couldn't maintain her fighting spirit.
ββ¦β¦ This guy, really, how to describe it. β
The girl who hid in the gap all the way and followed Rider to the castle of Einzbelen, although there was a little guess in her heart, but when she really heard Rider break straight into the castle in such a heroic way and invite Saber to drink together, the girl still felt a little crying and laughing, and an inexplicable sense of absurdity poured out from the heart, "This guy is serious." β
That's right, the invitation to the banquet sent by the rider is not like a provocation or ulterior motive, but simply wants to find someone to drink, on the one hand. On the one hand, I also want to observe the attitude of others through the banquet - as long as you are a broad-minded person, you will not hide your true heart at the banquet.
The girl didn't have any thirst for wine, but seeing Rider's behavior, the girl was a little hesitant about tonight's attack, and followed Rider for so long, and the girl also knew what Rider was doing outside before coming to Einzbelen Castle.
Spiritualized stealing alcohol, overeating, stealing drinking utensils......
And, invite archer.
"Alice Phil, what should I do?"
Alice Phil was similarly confused.
She was angry at the destruction of the forest's barrier before, but after seeing that grinning face, she couldn't hate it anyway.
"He's not the kind of person who sets traps, does he really want to drink?"
Rider has said that he will wait for the winner to be decided between Saber and Lancer. Keeping the pride and self-esteem of the Heroic Spirit, his sudden appearance tonight is really incomprehensible.
"Does the man want to adopt a soft policy towards Saber?"
"No, it's a challenge."
Saber, who should have lost his fighting spirit, became serious for some reason at this moment.
"Challenge?"
"Yes...... I am a king, and he is also a king. If you want to divide the high and low at the wine table, it is equivalent to a bloodless 'battle'. β
Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquest smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, it's good to understand. Since you can't fight each other with swords, let's use wine to fight it out. Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, get ready. β
"Interesting. I accept. β
Saber, who resolutely responded, exuded a fighting spirit as if he were on the battlefield. Only now does Alice Phil realize that this is not a joke, but a real "fight".
===============================================================
"Today, it's a good day."
The banquet was held by the flower bed in the atrium of the castle. Last night's battle didn't spill over here, and it didn't look shabby for hospitality. At this point, no one cared about the cold outside.
At this time, Saber, Rider and Archer have come here successively, and have a banquet and dialogue between the three kings - the domineering of the conquering king, the arrogance of the hero king, and the purity of the knight king, in this wine banquet, it is vividly displayed, although in the conversation, due to the different paths of the three kings, Rider and Archer attack Saber at the same time, but in general, it is still a relatively peaceful state - even if it is a collision, It's just a clash of words.
"Maybe there won't be a fight tonight......
Hiding in the gap, watching the three kings present talking about their affairs, the girl sighed, opened the gap in a relatively hidden grass, facing the clear night sky, looking at the bright moon, sighed, Saber, Archer and Rider's wine banquet did not have a trace of action, which made the girl also a little slack, if there was no accident, tonight, maybe it would have passed under the banquet of the three kings.
However, the truth is always different from the imagination, just when the girl thinks that tonight will be spent peacefully, a figure appears, breaking the atmosphere of this banquet, which is currently limited to oral wars-
